Eleanor Henning

Eleanor Henning serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she manages strategic acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to strengthen international governance, democratic institutions, and public sector capacity. Her work centers on technical assistance and policy advisory services that support institutional reform in partner nations, with a focus on governance, emergency response coordination, and sustainable development initiatives. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts designed to enhance public administration, electoral integrity, and civil society engagement abroad. Henning maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized technical support in institutional capacity building and governance programming. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven expertise in international development, policy analysis, and public sector reform. While she collaborates with a limited number of core vendors, her approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous evaluation criteria, and long-term service delivery partnerships rather than transactional engagements. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and institutional capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USAID’s global mission where specialized expertise often outweighs domestic small business targeting requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 921190—Other General Government Support—encompassing contract services such as policy design, institutional assessment, training programs, and technical advisory services for foreign governments. She specializes in procuring high-impact, non-material solutions that build local governance capacity, demonstrating deep domain expertise in international development administration and public sector modernization.
